CASE III CBOWII PT. COURTPRECEDEllI East Chicago Doctor Sues Hammond Garage in Personal Injury Suit. (Special to Thb Times.) Crown Point, Ind., April A. The cass of Goodrich vs. The Hammond Garage Co. under the corporation name o Simmons, Warr.er & Lavene, was com menced yestorday before ' Judge Kopelke in the Superior court. The complainant. Dr. Goodrich of Kast Chicago is asking damages against the above corporation for alleged injuries sustained while riding a motorcycle on Calumet avenue last July, he being thrown from the machine by a colli sion with a machine from the garage of the Hammond firm. A jury was secured by noon yesterday and the tak ing of testimony commenced during the afternoon session. Dr. Goodrich was placed on the stand and avers he has been seriously incapacitated from the performance of his professional duties through the accident which he claims was done wholly through the negligence of the company's driver. No little amount of interest in centered in the case, espe cially among automobile owners and drivers, as the verdict rendered by the jury may establish a precedent In the trial of other cases of like nature which may come up for settlement in the future. Attorney Shunk of East Chicago is representing Goodrich while W. J. Mc Aleer of Hammond is representing the Hammond Garage concern. It is ex pected the case will consume the great, er part of two days before It goes to the jury. Fifteen New Cases. Fifteen cases were filed in the Ijake superior court yesterday. This Is the largest number that has been filed in Hammond in any one day for a long time and indicates that the establishing of the extra courts in Hammond will take a great deal of business there. Of course, that have been, times when attorneys representing real estate firms or a corporation would come into csurt and file a large number of cases, but there were more miscellaneous cases filed yesterday than ever In the history of the Lake superior court.

SITUATION IS BADLY MIXED (Continued from page five.) tion those who favor the city will, seek a writ of mandate from the courts compelling the board to hold the city election. If the board decides that a city election shall be held those who favor the village will seek a writ of mandate in the courts to compel the board to hold a city election. The village ticket which has been put in the fle!1 is headed by Michael Berwanger4 who is running for the office of president of the village board The suspicious thing about the ticket is the fact that Henry C. Peters, who is well known as being in favor of a wide open town, is a candidate for the office of trustee. Another trustee is Mike Modziejewakl, a foreman at the Standard. Carl Heins is another can didate for the office of trustee. Liberal Seek Control. It will be noticed that both Peters and Helns are saloonkeepers, and it is reported that this is an effort on the part of the liberals In West Hammond to stem the tide of reform and get con trol of the village government. There is another suspicious thing about this move. The ticket was not Sled until the very last minute. It is now impossible for the citizens of the village of West Hammond to put an other village ticket in the field in the I event, it is definitely decided , that the

BIG DIVISION BAKERY MAKES TWENTY THOUSAND LOAVES OF BREAD DAILY

'j "A . One of the Interesting: features of the camp at San Antonio Is the big dlTislon bakery which Is being tested for the first time during the war maneuvers. It Is In charge of Cantain Lucius Holbrook, of the Fifth ! Cavalry. The bakery has two de-i partments. In one the flour is! kneaded into dough and in the other village election Is the only one that could be legally held. , In other words, if the board of trostecs decides that the village election muse be held It practically decides that Michael Berwanger, Henry Peters, Carl Helns and Mike Modzlezewski shall compose the next village board. The law requires that the tickets shall be filed with the clerk not later than a certain date and that date is now passed with only one village ticket in the field. This makes the complications more serious than ever. LARGE ATTEHDAHCE IS EXPECTED THERE Enough tickets have been sold for M. M. Towle dedicatory concert at the First Methodist church this evening to Insure a large audience. The program Is such to attract all lovers of classic music, and further attraction Is lent, the event by the fact that Walter Kel ler, the noted Chicago concert organist. will preside at the new organ. In ad dition to the regular organ program the Methodist choir, composed of twenty-five voices, will assist. The organ program is as follows: Allegro eon brio, from Sontat, Op. 22 ; Dudley Buck Fugue C Minor.... J. s. Bach (a Melodie, ............. . J. Massenet (b. Largc., .O. F.

Guilmant ANOTHER MEETING HAD BEFORE WEEK IS DONE Another meeting or two will have to be held before the committee on program for the National Christian Endeavor, of which the Rev. C. J. Sharp of Hammond is a member, will have completed its work. The Rev. C. G. Kindred of the Englewood Christian church met With the Rev. Sharp at the latter's residence in Hammond yesterday, they being members of the national board, but the work Is of such large scope that they could only commence it. Another meeting will be'Tield at the Rev. Kindred's home, next Friday, and it Is expected that the Rev. Claude E. Hill of Calparalso, the national superintendent, and Austin Hunter, also a member of the national board, will be present. This committee will outline two programs, one for the national convention of the Endeavor society and the other a study program to be taken up by every individual society. CROSSINGSARE HELD Numerous kicks and comments have been made by the public lately, regarding the way the railroads have been blocking crossings, especially on Hohman street. This afternon this happened again and again and delayed traffic over fifteen minutes. First an ' Erie freight passed and held up the crossing over five minutes. Directly afterwards a long Nickle Plate drag came through and no one could get by for over ten minutes. The drag got a past the bridge and stopped for a signal. They then could not start again. The crew were askeJ to cut the crossing, but no attempt was made. They tied up two street cars , and about 20 teams. The police in the future will watch this and if not remedied prosecutions wil follow. Death of James Oakes. James Oakes died this morning at St. Margaret's hospital. After a lingering sickness complications set in and resulted In pneumonia, from which he died. 1 Oakes is 51 years old and for the past two years has made his home at Gibson, boarding with Katie' Gibson, an' old resident, 82 years old, and who has lived In these parts since the Indian days. The funeral arrangements have not been made. Walker to Get Returns. J. L. Walker has arranged to give his patrons the Chicago election returns this evening at his buffet on State street and the Monon tracks.

it Is baked. It takea twenty minutes to bake a loaf, so the bakings are at Intervals of twenty minutes, and 20,000 two-pound loaves can be turned out every day. The oven are built of sheet Iron and asbestos. They can be taken apart and packed flat, so that the entire outfit goes ! to one wagon.

ADVERTISE FLORIDA LAUD EXTENSIVELY Florida land Is again being exten sively advertised, and with a cold dls ml dreary spring hereabouts, the nice things the advertisements have to say are doubly alluring to the northerner, In Hammond, the North Tampa Land company, whose holdings are in the famous Hlllsboro county, is represented by T. Shillinglaw of 38 Ogden street Hammond people who are interested in the sunny south have an advantage In being able to deal with a local rep resentative of a Florida land company, In a spacious ad, which appeared In The Times yesterday, considerable In formation was given about the land of theJCorth Tampa Land company, and more will be given In a book which the company sends upon request. CLUB WOMEN GET THE DATE CHANGED Next on Lecture Course Will Be Edward A. Ott. Members of the Hammond Woman's club were delighted today when they learned that their last and best lecture In the course would be given next Saturday evening instead of Friday evening. April 14th, which is Good Friday. When the lecture course committee discovered that It had set aside Good Friday it began at once to negotiate for another date, and through the efforts of Mrs. Sawyer, the Lyceum bureau finally agreed to another permit. Edward A. Ott will speak in Hammond next Saturday night. His subject will be "Sour Grapes," and the way he handles it are said to be one of the strongest attractions on the lyceum stage. The lecture course committee feels satisfied that Mr. Ott will produce the best number of the course. In changing the date the committee responded to the request of many ' patrons who wanted to hear Mr. Ott, Ibut who, on account of the fact that It would have been on Good Friday and In ' holy week, would have declined to go. WILL GO FOR HEARING , The village officials of West MamI mond will go to Chicago tomorrow for a hearing on the temporary injunction which Judge Peter Fenlmore Cooper granted upon the request of Miss Virginia Brooks last Saturday to stop all work on the pavement on One Hundred and Fifty-fifth place, i Miss Brooks served the injunction In person, and this vinusual proceeding had the village officials guessing for some time whether the injunction was properly served or not, but they finally decided that she was within her rights, and accordingly they will appear in I court. Miss Brooks gave a $1,00 bond. STREET Director's Meeting . There was a director's meeting of the , Men's club last evening, but nothing was done in the way of making arrangements for the next meeting. It is expected that another meeting will be held in the near future at which some definite plans will be developed. Eight Scarlet Fever Cases. There are about eight scarlet fever in Hammond at the present time, and the health department, while unable to eradicate the disease entirely, feels Lthat it is very well under control. No new cases have been reported recently. Gim Club to Meet. The Hammond Gun club expects to re-organize before the end of this month, and will in all probability hold the first shoot within a few weeks. Already a number of applications from new members have come in. No School Thursday. There will be no school in the public schools of Hammond after Wednesday.while there will be no spring vacation as heretofore there, will be two extra days respite from work while the teachers are attending the teachers' Institute at Indianapolis. That is, in fact, the reason why the schools will be closed on Thursday
